Phuket-Thailand Continued

Sunday morning we checked out of the hotel-we had a nice view from our room. and went for a scenic drive around Phuket, to explore the rest of the island. We went to several beautiful viewpoints, the most popular one was Phromthep Cape, up the steps from the viewpoint is a shrine to Brahma that is surrounded by thousands of wooden elephants of every size. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and views of the ocean and the island before we had to head to the airport to catch our flight to Malaysia.


Thailand is known for the kingdom of the elephant and we actually saw a sign driving down the road for an elephant crossing. We did see a couple elephants on the side of the road it was cool to see.

Phuket was a beautiful island and we really enjoyed our time there.

We headed to the airport about 3pm and flew Air Asia to Kuala Lumpur the capital of Malaysia then had to transfer to another terminal to take another short flight to Penang. We arrived in Panang about 10pm and Jose (Brett’s friend from work) and Sue picked us up at the airport and took us to the hotel. We are staying in the Equatorial, it’s a very nice hotel with a balcony and a great view. We were sad the weekend had to end and Brett had to go to work the next morning.
